It should seem impressive that the Jazz lost by only four points to a Spurs team that shot just shy of 50% from beyond the arc on a barrage of triples from Matt Bonner and Gary Neal. Up until the very last seconds of the contest Utah had myriad opportunities to strike a winning blow against San Antonio who continued to leave the door open for them. When the final buzzer sounded however, the Jazz had failed to execute in the clutch and the Spurs headed out towards Portland with a chance for a perfect Rodeo Road Trip. As much as the Spurs victory can be attributed to their stellar sharp shooting and a mid 2000s-esque double-double from Tim Duncan, the Jazz failure to execute late is equally responsible for the Jazz loss. Ultimately, it was Richard Jefferson who delivered the dagger that shut the door for good on Utah this evening at Energy Solutions Arena.
There are two primary ways that a loss like this can be framed. The first is as above, putting the onus on our failure to execute in crunch time. The second, of course, being that the Spurs are hot as hell right now and that there is little to nothing that any team can do to stop them, as evidenced by their current win streak. The capital "T" truth is probably a combination of both. The Jazz aren't a great team, the Spurs are, so even when Utah is clicking at home it is going to be hard for them to pull a win out.
The real story tonight is that Devin Harris got to push the ball and in so doing put up better numbers than he has in recent games. It is too soon to tell if he can have a Raja Bell style turn around this season but if the Jazz can find a way to play Devin the way Devin likes best to be played it is possible that our woes at point could become less severe going into the second half of the season. With 15 points on 75% shooting, 4 assists and perfection (albeit 1-1) from the charity stripe Devin Harris should try to use this game as a springboard from which to enter a more confident position in this offense.
CJ was the only second unit player tonight who had a respectable outing while racking up 13 points, 2 boards and an assist. No other Jazz man broke double figures from the bench.
The starters played like starters and even if the numbers don't bear it all out, every Jazz man played hard. It was a good loss. Yes, such things exist.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the other major storyline that developed this evening in Jazzland. #32 himself, Karl Malone, was in the house sitting right under the basket next to the beloved Doctor. There was some speculation as to whether or not Greg Miller who was also in attendance would avail himself of the opportunity to speak with Karl, and it appears that he indeed has. This Twitpic care of @saltcityhoops:
Let's hope this means we can put the "unpleasantness" behind us. Maybe something unexpected and even excited comes of this.
And of course, one more thing. The most important of all.
Three years ago today the Utah Jazz lost their heart and soul, the true genesis of their continued presence here and the embodiment of the ethos we are all proud to call Jazz Basketball: Larry H. Miller. In these three short years it seems that almost everything has changed for the Utah Jazz and yet tonight we witnessed a game of Jazz basketball that should remind all of us of days past. All Larry ever asked of his Jazz was real pure effort, night in and night out, on the court that came to bear his name. These things take time Jazz fans, but tonight we were graced with some great basketball the likes of which would have made the Jazz's departed owner proud.
Let's go get .500 in Minny.
The Jekyll and Hyde show continues for the Utah Jazz. This time, both faces managed to show in this game, as it was truly a tale of two halves in Houston, with the Jazz ultimately succumbing to the hideous Hyde side late in the fourth. Also, it's quite clear that Utah is consistent at one thing: Inconsistency.
Things were looking up for the Jazz early on. Houston had benched starting center Sam Dalembert for showing up late to a meeting earlier today, and Utah responded. Offense was clicking and points from the frontcourt of Jefferson and Millsap were coming easily and often. In fact, the duo shot 12-21 for 24 points and looked poised to be Utah's ticket to a big road win.
The problem? Houston was answering back. Neither team really took much of an advantage, though. A 46-45 halftime score was fairly inidicative of how the first half went. Stride for stride, neither team truly doing enough on both ends collectively to pull away. The good news for the Jazz? Road wins have been scarce this year (only three in 12 attempts) and they had a great flow going. Shooting 49% and forcing 7 steals and 6 blocks showed, to me at least, that they were up for the challenge. The bad news? Kyle Lowry was doing Kyle Lowry things. Unstoppable in the first two quarters, Lowry gave Utah a taste of what ultimately would be their demise: Inability to stop opposing point guards.
We've seen it all year, and it's come from unlikely suspects. Jrue Holiday, Roddy Beaubois, Darren Collison, Jarrett Jack, Jeremy Lin (although that one now feels a lot less painful)…not to mention guys like Russ Westbrook, Chris Paul and the likes of the elite. This is becoming more and more problematic, as the Jazz don't have the luxury of a "go-to" guy who will put the team on his back to mask such shortcomings. You could argue that Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap are of that mold, but unfortunately in this league (to steal from Matt Harpring's staple phrases), that isn't going to cut it.
Lowry went off for 18 points in the first half alone, hitting all four shots he took from beyond the arc. And, yes, the first half foul discrepancy did invoke a bit of a chin scratch from me – Houston shooting 10 free throws to Utah's whopping ZERO – but ultimately that would even itself out (24-20 in favor of the Rockets). Yes, Luis Scola's affinity to lie on the ground when lightly brushed or breathed upon also caused me a few fits of rage. But, again, that didn't decide this one.
Late in the third, Utah had kept the game relatively close, but trailed 67-63 and you could just feel Houston itching to go off. In fact, I tweeted at the time "Jazz letting this one slip away...", even before the lead would open up. The line up of Favors, Kanter, Miles, Bell and Watson was tasked with not allowing many of Houston's starters to explode. Sadly, it didn't work. Houston opened their biggest lead of the game on a late-in-the-clock, wide open (surprise!) three by Courtney Lee to close out the quarter 72-64. That lead would eventually climb to 13 before Utah decided it would attempt to get back in it.
An 11-0 Millsap fueled run brought Utah back within 2. Shades of last year's road game at Houston, another Millsap takeover mission, were flooding back into my mind. And then, someone killed that dream. None other than Houston Rockets point guard Kyle Lowry.
Lowry drained a NASTY three pointer, sharply pulling back on an attempted drive that left the defending Alec Burks helpless with his back turned to a now wide open Lowry. And while the lead was only at five points after his shot, the effect thereof was crippling. You felt the wind leave the sails of the Jazz's ship. A couple of extremely frustrating C.J. Miles bailout fouls followed the shot, effectively raising the white flag of surrender. Utah would go on to lose 101-85.
Everything that could've gone wrong in that second half did. Utah's 49% first half shooting? Dwindled to a mere 39.5% by the end of the game. Yep. A 10-36 second half performance – 27.7% - was quite the departure from earlier on in the evening. Jefferson, Millsap and even Raja Bell did their part to keep things moving in the right direction. Utah's bench overall were the culprits to poor offensive execution. Would you like a taste of what we watched? I thought so.
Earl Watson: 0-7 FG (0-4 3P), 0 points, 1 assist, -12. Youch. Hardly the Earl we've come to love.
Derrick Favors: 1-7 FG, 3-6 FT, 5 points, 4 rebounds, -12. Yuck. Forgettable performance.
C.J. Miles: 1-5 FG (1-1 3P), 3 points, 3 rebounds. C.J.'s 2 early blocks were his real saving grace tonight. His 2 late fouls that blew the game open for Houston unfortunately canceled them out.
Alec Burks: 0-3 FG, 0 points. He's earned the playing time. Now's not the time to force Ty to question that decision.
The only guy off the bench who gets a pass is Enes "The Menace" Kanter. A strong stat line helps. But in the long run, the stats are hollow in blowout losses. The fact that Enes had six points and seven boards in just 12 minutes of play does give me hope that he's got his head in the right place and is simply ready to maximize every opportunity he gets, no matter how small. God bless you, Enes.
Kyle Lowry would finish the night with 32 points on 9-13 shooting (7-8 from three) and a game high +22. There's a reason the #KLOE hashtag exists. Kyle Lowry Over Everything, y'all. At least for tonight. The good thing about Lowry going off? Point guard Jonny Flynn didn't see a minute of time, thus preventing Utah from being the team that #Flynnsanity takes off against.
Jazz will need to have short memories and move on quickly, as a showdown with the San Antonio Spurs is only a day away. Who shows up for that game - Jekyll? Or Hyde? I have no clue, honestly. At least this team keeps us guessing and on the edge of our seats.no comments
A Chippy Practice and a Crappy Team Gives us a win.
The Utah Jazz had their best offensive game of the season last night in a 114-100 win over the terrible Wizards team. Much of the credit should go to Al Jefferson (+25) who had one of his best games as a Jazz player scoring 34 points on 16-23 shooting. Harris had a season high 9 assists and Millsap added a double double.
Millsap, Jefferson, and Raja Bell talked about practice this week being chippy. Bell talked about guys going at each other and taking out their "road trip" frustrations on each other. I think we all know how frustrated the team was during the road trip, and it's good to see that they were showing that during practice. Millsap mentioned how good it was to actually have a practice. I don't know how many practices the Jazz have had this month, but I wouldn't put it at more than 3 or 4. This team needs practice. It is apparent both on and off the court. As a fan I also appreciate the openness of that practice.
Raja Bell has turned his season around, for now. We can praise him when he plays well. as long as we can criticize him when he hasn't played well. I don't think his wife having a baby has anything to do with it, but here are the numbers. Raja has more points in his last five games than he had in his first thirteen combined. The most important part of his recent hot streak is that he has started games really really well, which is where this Jazz team has struggled. He has scored 10+ in 4 straight games and has hit a three ball in 18 straight games.
Al Jefferson=Beast Mode. He played fantastic last night. If you haven't seen his stat line, check it out.
Alec Burks might be that guy... to say that we have been waiting for that guy for a long time would be an understatement. He is young. He plays a little out of control and turns the ball over, but every game he does something that makes you say, "He could be that guy." There are times when I hear the, "We have to be aggressive" talk. Burks does it all the time. CJ does it every once in a while, and Hayward has his spots, but Burks makes a B-line to the basket almost every time he touches the ball. Good/great things happen when you go to the hole: free throws, open guys on bad rotations, high % shots, and broken down defenses. Burks is our best player at creating his own shot. As he grows in his role as a scorer he will also grow in his role as a passer and when to pick his spots.
It was good to see the Jazz win a game that they are supposed to win against a team that they are supposed to beat. The bigger challenge is, as always, to see if they can bottle up that energy and take it to Houston on Sunday night.
This was a forgettable game. A game that hurts.
Back to back or not...it was a winnable game.
A night after an inspired performance in Memphis, the Jazz come up empty handed in New Orleans against the Hornets. After spending a team building day remembering history, they resort back to old habits. Turnovers, lack of energy, no offensive flow...need I go on? This was ugly basketball at it's worst. You can't get much lower than this.
New Orleans Hornets guard Marco Belinelli (8) scores over Utah Jazz power forward Paul Millsap (24) in the second half of an NBA basketball game in New Orleans, Monday, Feb. 13, 2012. The Hornets won their fifth game this season 86-80.
I'm not going to pound on the low lights. The game was a collection of those. But I will take a moment to talk highlights. There weren't a lot, but as the cliche suggests: "every cloud has a silver lining".
#FreeAlecBurks had it's time tonight. Although his line doesn't seem to suggest impact it was the silent stats that seemed to keep me on the edge of my seat...and yes for a few moments in the fourth quarter, I was jumping up and down in complete excitement.
It was as if via @clintonite33(above) Ty said: "Go get em, kid". What did the Jazz have to lose? They were already getting run out of the building. The starters and even much of the bench had the body language of a team DISINTERESTED in really making things happen. So Ty reached deep down the bench and called up #10...and set him loose.
He did all the right things, things that dont show up on the stat sheet. He was in Bellineli's face, hounding him defensively, not allowing him any level of comfort on the floor. He got his hand on many a loose ball and even rebounded the ball well in his stint on the floor. He attacked the basket in a number of ways and found his teammates for wide open layups and dunks. It is those kinds of little things that equate to playing time. And Burks may have just earned himself some extra time in the coming games.
Favors continues to show signs of what we all can only drool over. His athleticism got him many opportunities at the rim tonight and every one of them were impressive. He continues to work on his post game and seems to have found a nice fade away jumper in the post. Indeed, if he continues on this path, the future is VERY bright in Jazzland.
Kanter also continues to show flashes of brilliance as he dominated the night on the glass, finishing the night with 12 rebounds in just 22 minutes. While he still struggles at times to gather himself under the basket, he had moments where he was able to finish strong and draw the foul on the defender.

Utah Jazz shooting guard Raja Bell (19) shoots the ball over New Orleans Hornets point guard Greivis Vasquez (21) in the first half of an NBA basketball game in New Orleans, Monday, Feb. 13, 2012.
And finally worth noting, Raja Bell continues to be hot from long distance finishing the night 3-4 from downtown. And as David Locke(@lockedonsports) pointed out Raja "has hit a three in 15 straight games - 3rd longest streak in the NBA". Raja has found a grove that works. He's scratched and crawled his way out of a slump that has spanned over the last year and a half. Raja is "ringing the bell" again. And it's a pleasant site to see.
So the Jekyll and Hyde identity of the Jazz continue. Which team will we see next? Jekyll or Hyde? The team that beats the Lakers, Nuggets and Memphis with an air of confidence or the one that goes on the road in New York, Indiana, and New Orleans and struggles with the basics?
You're guess is as good as mine. But hopefully we find the answer to those questions sooner than later.
The Jazz's schedule continued to get harder last week, and it showed as the team went an ugly 1-3. This is obviously the type of record that causes you to miss the playoffs, not make them. You could say the Jazz were a "team effort" away from a road win in New York and just one or two possessions away from coming back in Indiana, which would have put the Jazz at 3-1 on the week. But at the end of the season, no one cares about how many games your team "could have" or "should have" won, it's your final record that gets you in the playoffs or sends you to the lottery. The Jazz are still filled with young players, a new coach, and haven't played together for that long, so this is somewhat expected of them. The more experienced the team gets, there will hopefully be less "could have" and "should have" games and more wins. That being said, not everyone played bad last week, and credit is due.
(Note: I am changing up the way I write these posts (as you'll see below), let me know if it's good or bad thing)
Devin Harris
Last Week's Line: 10 points (59.8%), 4 assists (2.3 TO's), 1 rebound, 2 steals
I feel bad for Harris, I really do. Just a few years ago he was an All Star, now he is desperately trying to fit in on a new team while struggling to look like a starting point guard at times. Offensively he didn't have a terrible week, in a matter of fact his shooting % has been great as of late. But 10 points and 4 assists isn't that good either, but that's not the main problem. Harris has been a major liability on defense this year, something we see as opposing point guards continue to go off on us. This week it was Jeremy Lin, Darren Collision, and Russell Westbrook. It would be easier to handle the 10 points and 4 assists if he wasn't allowing 25+ points on the other end.
Raja Bell
Last Week's Line: 11.25 points (60%), 2 rebounds
You would have never guessed, but Bell has turned out to be a nice surprise this year. Ever since his wife had that baby he's actually played at serviceable levels! Bell has turned out to be the Jazz's best (and only?) 3 point shooter (39% this year), not to mention one of the team's best defenders. Now by looking at his stats you can tell he doesn't contribute a whole lot anywhere else, but at 35 years old I'm not sure if we can expect much more from him.
*Bell has shot over 50% for 4 of the last 5 weeks
Gordon Hayward
Last Week's Line: 15.3 points (58%), 2.5 rebounds, 4 assists (.5 TO's), 1 block, 1.3 steals
It took him a few weeks, but Gordon is starting to look like a lottery pick again, and a damn good one at that. Hayward contributed from everywhere last week, and I mean everywhere. I look at that line, and I see just the tip of the ice berg. Hayward is showing he has the potential to be a legit 17/5/4 guy with a dangerous 3 point shot and tenacious defense. He showed us flashes of this last year, and now it's becoming a consistent thing. Hayward is already a top 3 player on this team.
Paul Millsap
Last Week's Line: 13.3 points (48%), 10 rebounds, 3.3 assists (2.8 TO's)
I was asked earlier this morning why Millsap is starting to fade away (not the shot, but his performance), and I think we can blame it on a number of things. First off, teams are simply defending him more and better. Then there is the compressed season and all of the effort he has put out; he is just getting worn out. He's also getting fewer touches on offense, which is going to lower his numbers. Paul didn't play like All Star last week, but was able to fight through it. 48% shooting, 10 rebounds, and 3.3 assists is actually pretty good and something I can definitely live with from our starting power forward. It will be interesting to see if his play goes up after being snubbed from the All Star game.
Al Jefferson
Last Week's Line: 19.8 points (47%), 8.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists (1.8 TO's), 1.5 blocks
While Jefferson led the team in scoring and blocks and was second in rebounding, I still feel something is off with his game. David Locke mentioned on Twitter that he hasn't been the same since his ankle injury from a few weeks ago.
Jefferson can be a very fun and a very frustrating player to watch. I think we can all agree that he has improved a lot since joining the team last year. But @jazzingitup made a good point on slcdunk this morning.
"Al Jefferson is an above average center, but you aren't going to be an above average team if he is taking the most shots"
Earl Watson
Last Week's Line: 0 points (0%), 5.3 assists (1.8 TO's), 1.3 rebounds
One week after being named the Player of the Week, Earl Watson goes four games without a point. I know he isn't a scorer, but I didn't expect that. While Watson was still able to lead the team in assists (despite coming off the bench) he really didn't do much else. Now this isn't completely on him, the team played poorly for a good portion of last week. If we have learned anything about Earl, it's that he knows he played bad and will do his best to step it up. Don't be surprised to see him play much better this week.
CJ Miles
Last Week's Line: 8.8 points (50%), 1.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists (1.5 TO's)
For the third consecutive week, we have seen CJ Miles minutes dip (18 last week), as well as his productivity. CJ is a very fun player, unless he is shooting jump shots. The most common dig on CJ is his consistency. Which I think all comes down to his shooting.
(CJ's percentages on jumpers this season)
Now in his seventh season, Miles still hasn't proven he can be an NBA shooter. I don't know if he ever will be one. However, Miles still can be a good player; he just needs to play to his strengths.
Josh Howard
Last Week's Line: 3.5 points (24%), 3 rebounds, 1.3 Turnovers (.3 Assists)
It's funny how Jazz fans went from hoping to resign Howard this next offseason to hoping he is traded before the season is over. It's hard not to blame them as Howard's game has gone completely downhill since his leg injury. One of the biggest questions in signing him was his health and would he be able to maintain it. Have to hope this isn't a trend and he gets his legs back under him.
Derrick Favors
Last Week's Line: 7.5 points (50%), 3 rebounds, 2 TO's (16.5 minutes)
Favors still seems to be in a funk. He'll play good for part of the week, and he'll look really bad for part of it. You have to wonder how he'd be playing if he was given more minutes. He is averaging 20 right now, only .3 more than last season.
Enes Kanter
Last Week's Line: 3.5 points (47%), 4.3 rebounds (13.5 minutes)
While Kanter is also struggling to get minutes, he is doing good job of making the most of them. For a 19 year old you have to be pleased with how he is developing. I honestly think he could be a double-double player very soon if he had the minutes. One nice surprise about Kanter is his defense, something that was originally put as one of his weaknesses.
*Players who didn't play (very much): Jeremy Evans, Jamaal Tinsley, Alec Burks, DeMarre Carroll
It wasn't much of a challenge for me to pick a winner this week…
Player of the Week: Week 7

Runner up: Al Jefferson
Special Mentions: Raja Bell, Paul Millsap

This game had a "big game" feel to it. Utah was riding an ugly three game losing streak which included a Jeremy Lin/Jared Jeffries beat down in NY, a failed comeback attempt in Indiana and a demoralizing defeat at home handed out by league leaders Oklahoma City. Tonight's game kicked off the Jazz's only back-to-back-to-back of the season, and let's be honest, a real possibility of doubling that nasty losing streak to six. Insanity is the definition of doing the same things over and over and expecting different results.
A shakeup was in order. A new routine. A lineup change. Something, anything. And that's just what Coach Ty Corbin did. However, this wouldn't be the break in formation you'd be thinking.
Earlier in the day, the Salt Lake Tribune posted an interesting article on a team unifying, chemistry building field trip. Ty took the guys to the National Civil Rights Museum to shake things up a bit and take advantage of a much needed off day (in preparation for three games in three nights). As I read about this experience, it felt like the team had come to a crossroads and was struggling to know who they are and what they want to be. Taking a break from the daily grind to learn, to focus the senses on topics and events that helps one gain perspective can be just what the doctor ordered.
My opinion? The Jazz team that took the floor tonight resembled a rebirth, a phoenix from the ashes of a team struggling to find an identity. They looked rejuvenated. They worked hard. Sure, they made mistakes. But they adapted. They relied on some hard-nosed defense coupled with a surprising visit from an in-rhythm Gordon Hayward. And Al Jefferson? My goodness, what a fantastic performance. Raja "I owe you a million apologies" Bell made clutch shot after clutch shot. Ball movement was as good as it had been all season long.
I'm not going to bore you with statistics or try to prove something special happened tonight by overloading this piece with numbers and hyphens. Tonight's 98-88 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies was a "feel-good" victory. In many ways, this game could've been one of the season's biggest. Utah had come in, as mentioned, on a three game slide, and had lost 5 of 7 in February. Let's also not forget that ugly elephant in the room: The Jazz had only been victorious outside the friendly confines of Energy Solutions Arena twice this season (at Golden State and at Denver). Not to mention, Utah seems to shy from the national TV spotlight, having only won once this season on that stage. With an all important three games in three nights (all on the road) looming, tonight sets the tempo for who this team thinks they are.
Had Utah lost tonight, the losing streak jumps to four and no doubt dampens the mood for the remainder of the trip. Now? Utah holds its collective head high, grabbing a vital road win that in my mind felt truly (dare I say?) inspired. Yes, Ty Corbin is finding his way as not only a head coach in this league but is a shining example of a leader in its truest form. Coaches teach. Leaders inspire. Ty is still young, but quickly proving he can do both.
I can't say what the next two games hold. But when a confident Gordon Hayward goes for a team high 23 points on 8-12 shooting, 5 assists and 2 steals OUT OF NOWHERE, then that's a good sign. When Al Jefferson drops 21 on 10-17 FG, 15 boards with 4 (!!!) assists, that's a good sign. When Raja Bell is knocking down clutch threes late in games for daggers, that's a good sign. And when your team scores 30 points off 18 forced turnovers, you KNOW that's a good sign. Also, I guess I lied about sharing stats. Couldn't help myself. Those guys particularly were absolutely impressive tonight on both ends.
Something felt different for me tonight. It was an ugly, scrappy game, but as our friend Dustin (@prodigal_punk) points out, those are games that favor this Jazz team. Utah muddied up the game early and enforced that things weren't going to come easy for Memphis. Deflections, challenged shots and solid rotations set the tone for a Utah-type game. While the Jazz did struggle to secure quite a few defensive rebounds (giving up 18 OREB to Memphis), Utah countered with their own gritty effort, nabbing 13 of their own to somewhat even the balance. Overall, this felt like a solid win for a team in desperate need of some positivity. Sounds to me like more "field trips" are in order, Coach.no comments

The Jazz have hit the skids losing three in a row with their back-to-back-to-back of the compressed season looming large, and it's a puzzling matter to pinpoint where exactly they've gone wrong of late.
Some want to pin it on the starting bigs for not defending, but is this fair when opposing point guards have either strolled through a perimeter saloon door defense and into the paint, breaking down the D in doing so, or just plain been hot from mid-range as Russell Westbrook was?
David Locke, statistical-search guru, breaks down the numbers at Locked On Jazz here, but no one has solved the puzzle yet. Is it simply scouting by the opposition that has stalled out what was the most potent frontcourt to start the season, in Al Jefferson-plus-Paul Millsap, allowing teams to pack the paint and dare Utah to bang from range, something they haven't been able to do outside of a revitalized Raja Bell?
Maybe. But I've found another piece to said puzzle. And it's a doozy.
Click here for full size
What's happened during this three-game skid is the Jazz's turnover rate is simply dreadful. Utah is turning it over in the last three games at a higher rate than the worst team in the league do, the Detroit Pistons, while at the same time Jazz opponents are turning it over at a lesser rate than the league-leading Boston Celtics do.
Over the last three games the Jazz:
• Have turned it over 18.3% of the time, that's nearly one in every five possessions, a worse rate than the league's worst of 17.8% for the season
• Have not forced turnovers, letting opponents flourish on offense with the ball by forcing turnovers only 16.3% of the time, less than the league-leader at taking care of the ball, at 16.6%
• The Jazz have been one of the best in the league this season in both categories until the last three games, 5th-best at taking care of the ball and 9th-best at forcing opponents to cough it up
What we've got here is a stretch of carelessness with the precious rock coupled with a coinciding stretch of failing to do their due diligence on defense, creating a perfect storm that's caused them to sabotage their own efforts to win a ballgame. Defense of the turnover variety not only stunts opposing offensive abilities, but also often creates transition opportunities, and when that happens too often a defense gets gassed much sooner for having to scramble to get back and play catch-up all game long. It's incredibly hard to finish a game as it is this season, let alone contributing to your own demise in this way. Opponents have found an easier path to victory by using their defense to create offense.
This is one of the biggest contributors to the Jazz's demise of late, and they must turn this around first if they are to win many more ballgames this year. Here is the Jazz's turnover rates on the season, courtesy BasketballReference.com. I suggest scrolling down to the Advanced Stats section and viewing the rate under the TOV% column, as this is the most accurate way to equalize for the different minutes played among players, especially since minutes on the Jazz are so spread out compared to most other teams.
Let's see if they can manage to cinch up their belts and rectify this egregious aberration sometime soon, in time to right the ship before it's too late and the season is sunk.

|Leaders in health on the northern Mexican border celebrate the 70 year anniversary of the PAHO Border Office
El Paso, TX, September 13, 2012(PAHO/WHO) – Health leaders in the northern border states of Mexico –Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, and Sonora –joined in the celebration of the 110th anniversary of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the 7th anniversary of the U.S.-Mexico border Office. During the Summit on Health and Human Security which took place on September 6 in Ciudad Juarez, representatives of the ministers of health from these states carried messages and official congratulatory letters for Dr. Mirta Roses, Director of the PAHO and Dr. Maria Teresa Cerqueira, Chief of the Border Office.
Dr. Jesús Zacarías Villarreal Pérez, Secretary of Health and Director General of Health Services from the State of Nuevo Leon, expressed in his letter that "without any doubt, the presence of the Office has established an historic precedent on our border, contributing in a very effective way to the identification of the most important binational health issues and the application of policies and strategies to bring solutions to them, creating a synergy with the State Ministries of Health, with multiple non-government organizations, as well as with local health leaders, through working together, and always maintaining the importance of improving public health and the quality of life on the U.S.-Mexico border region." Recognizing the invaluable work, he added that with these types of actions and associations, the society will be able to grow and benefit while improving its standard of life.
The U.S.-Mexico border, considered the most dynamic and busiest in the world, is a region in permanent transition in the social, demographic, and epidemiologic senses, with big opportunities and disparities that determine the health of the inhabitants of both countries. Along the entire length of the border, more than 113 million border crossings of individuals and a total of more than 43 million crossings by vehicles, passenger buses, or freight trucks were registered in 2011.
Dr. José Jesús Bernardo Campillo García, Secretary of Health and Executive President of Health Services of Sonora, thanked the PAHO through the U.S.-Mexico Border Office, highlighting what has been accomplished over the years with its many contributions, including improving the health of the border population and contributing to the development of this strip that unites both countries. "Solidarity, mutual respect and the coordination of actions has characterized this historic relation of the Border Office with the ten border states, which with all justification has won a place of international technical alliance and the recognition as a member in the public health efforts on the border."
These messages were delivered by Dr. Abelardo García Cantú for Nuevo León, Dr. Jorge Sebastián Hernández for Tamaulipas, Dr. Jaime León Varela for Sonora, and they were accompanied by the Executive Secretary of the Commission for U.S.-Mexico Border Health, Dr. Maria Teresa Zorrilla. Likewise, Dr. Ramón Murrieta González, Executive President of the Medical College of Mexico/National Federation of the College of Doctors (Colegio Médico de México/Federación Nacional del Colegio de Médicos, A.C.) also joined in congratulating and recognizing the work carried out by the Border Office.

Born to James R and Hope Allario Tormey of San Jose, Jim was raised in San Mateo, attended San Mateo High School ('53), then San Jose State ('57) where he met and married Mary Pat O'Donnell, also of San Mateo, in 1957. He resumed his studies after his ROTC service to earn his Juris Doctorate from Santa Clara University in 1960, returning to San Mateo where his 5 children were born, raised and educated. Jim practiced Law from his San Mateo offices until 1997, when he retired to his family's beloved ranch on the California/Oregon border. Jim was first elected to the Board of Trustees of the San Mateo County Community College District in 1971 and served on the board for 24 years. He was a founding director of the Borel Bank & Trust Company (now Boston Private Bank & Trust) from 1979 to 2002, and served as Judge Pro-Tem in the San Mateo County Courts from 1972 to 1997. Jim was an active member of several service and professional organizations, many for decades and often serving as President or Board Chair, including the San Mateo County Congress of Elected Officials, San Mateo Heart Association, Combined Health Agencies Drive, The Bombay Bicycle Riding Club and the Kiwanis, which he joined in 1963. Jim was a fierce advocate for public education, an avid skier, dedicated outdoorsman and appreciator of the challenges and rewards of the rural lifestyle. Jim is survived by Mary Elizabeth "Liz" Tormey, his wife of 28 years, of Medford, Oregon, and his children Anne (Richard) Freeman of Auburn, Erin Tormey of Half Moon Bay, Christopher Tormey of Auburn, Gregory (Stacy) Tormey of Cotati, Marc (Deanna) Tormey of San Mateo, step-daughters Tobi Fenn of Fremont and Jacqueline (Clinton) Ward of Redwood City and 11 treasured grandchildren.

He is survived by his four daughters, Corrine Fishman, Colleen Quinn, Kathleen Quinn and Kelly Quinn, all of California, three grandsons, and a granddaughter. He is also survived his siblings Joseph Quinn '56 of Medina, Philip Quinn of Seattle, Louise Sifferman of San Juan Capistrano, and Catherine Turner of Escalo, California.

Austin >Bars & Clubs > Dick's Deja Disco
113 San Jacinto Blvd, Austin, TX | Directions 7870130.263249 -97.741809
Neighborhoods: Downtown
Passing Through – I was passing through and visiting a friend. He decided to take me there for a drink and it was a wonderful experience. Laid back atmosphere, good drinks, and had a very handsome bartender named Ryan. (Unless I am mistaken!) Everyone was so nice there and always made sure our drinks were fresh. Kudos to the hiring of the staff as well as the setting of the bar. It was very good. Next time I am in town, I plan on visiting again. And who knows? Maybe the same staff will be there.
this place is underutilized – What a great bar. Im somewhat new to Austin and Ive been to the 'other' bars once or twice, but on discovering this place, Ive been out more than I ever have since Ive been in Ausin. What a breath of fresh air the cockpit is. The name is the only thing I would change about this place. I could easily fit in with the RAIN crowd. I dont want to, I mush prefer the real people at the cockpit.
club WANTED – A girls night at a real night club has finally come to Austin! It's called WANTED and the Ladies are WANTED. Be sure you check out the new girl bartender!! The DJ Rocks and the Go-Go Dancers are HOT!!
Editorial Review – A gay and lesbian disco dance club off Cesar Chavez. Sunday's retro night and daily specials include Two for Tuesdays.
worth the trip – this place a diamond in the rough!the bartenders are so sweet and the dancers are to.awesome dance floor good music and just a great atmosphere.most gay clubs are kinda intense with the snobby wannabes, but not this place everyone is super sweet.
Hot Guys in the City – Dicks has some of the friendliest guys - especially the strippers. You can get up close and personal. Hi Rick!
Get Here! – I used to be afraid of DICK'S but I have no reason to be...Thursday night there are doller and a quarter well drinks (with no cover) and the music of FILTHY RICH (Austin's BEST D.J.) and everyone should be here. This is a really fun club with a HUGE dance floor, an outdoor patio, and some hot bartenders and DJs...get here!
DJ Mecca – All I can say is if you have not heard DJLD (aka Lil Debbie) then you don't know what you are missing. This DJ veteren can still run circles around the best best DJ's out there. He is truly underrated and if you are into tight DJ mixes you must visit Dick's on a Friday night! He is better than any circuit DJ out there.
Sunday nights with Matt! – Matt spins 80s tunes on Sunday night; he's awesome. Not just the same old retro crap (if I hear "Melt with You" one more time...); and he takes requests, too!

Modi wants blockbuster IPL season
The second edition of the Indian Premiere League would be a much bigger than its previous one, said chairman Lalit Modi in Goa on Thursday.
A total of 17 slots would be available for the different teams to bid for in the auction of the second edition of the Indian Premiere League, said Modi.
The IPL chairman said apart from the slots available, teams can bid for more players to replace the Pakistani players, who are banned from the Twenty20 league. Whereas he said no replacements would be possible in the mid-session
He said the IPL will follow new players of conduct in its second edition of the tournament.
In case of tied match, one over eliminator would be used, said Modi
He again said the IPL will follow the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) guidelines
In its second edition Mumbai Indians have three players to bid for, whereas Kolkata Knight Riders have 1 slot available to bid for.
The second player's auction of the DLF Indian Premier League will witness 114 cricketers from abroad under the hammer in Goa on February 6.
From South Africa's new batting sensation JP Duminy to England's Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff, the auction will see an array of stars up for the auction for the second edition of the tournament that will kick off on April 10.
Australian players will lead the charge with 27 in the fray that include Bradd Haddin, Nathan Hauritz, Stuart Clark, Bradd Hogg, Shaun Tait and Jason Krejza among others. However, Australian vice-captain Michael Clarke pulled out citing a busy international schedule.
England follows next with 21 players including Pietersen, Flintoff, Steve Harmison, James Anderson, Monty Panesar, Ravi Bopara, Matt Prior, Ian Bell, Paul Collingwood, Shaun Udal, Ryan Sidebottom, Graeme Swan and Owais Shah.
"As per guidelines set by the Governing Council for the IPL 2009, each franchisee will have a maximum purse of $2 million, less any amount spent on signing temporary replacements from last year to select the cricketers best suited for their team's strategies," according to a release from the organisers.
"Clearly the DLF Indian Premier League has set new standards in helping uncover and hone some exciting new talent, that have gone on to gain international recognition, all of which augurs well for development of world cricket. We are extremely happy with the interest the league has garnered globally and look forward to the action at the second player auction in Goa," Modi said.

FDNY Firefighter Who Donated Bone Marrow Will Meet Recipient and Her Family for the First Time
Fire Commissioner Salvatore J. Cassano; Christopher D. Hillyer, M.D., President and CEO of New York Blood Center (NYBC); and Howard P. Milstein, Chairman of NYBC's Board of Trustees; will add the names of six FDNY bone marrow donors to the "Honor Roll of Life" at the eighth induction ceremony, to be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, January 25, 2011 at FDNY Headquarters, 9 Metrotech Center, Brooklyn, NY.
During the ceremony, Firefighter James Wildes, 37, of Engine 162 on Staten Island will meet the recipient of his life-saving stem cell donations, Alise Mareerose Williams, 6, from Evansdale, Iowa. At 16-months-old, Alise was diagnosed with Fanconi anemia, a rare life-threatening blood disorder, and her family was told she would need a bone marrow transplant to survive. In 2009, Alise received that transplant from Firefighter Wildes.
Members of the FDNY make up New York Blood Center's single largest group of bone marrow and stem cell donors. To date, a total of 140 FDNY members have given these gifts to patients - in some cases more than once - accounting for 13 percent of all donors from New York Blood Center.
For a list of NYBC blood drives and donor center locations in NY and NJ, please visit www.nybloodcenter.org and click on the "Locate a Blood Drive" link or call 1-800-933-2566.

"Your animated pack is the best I've ever seen." ...Dai Vernon
This is considered the definitive work on magic with invisible thread. If you have ever wanted to perform astounding magic where objects seem to move and float on their own this is your opportunity. Based on Jon LeClair's best-selling book "The Art of Invisible Thread," this program takes you on a candid outing where LeClair performs live for startled spectators in a restaurant. You are then taught how to perform everything. LeClair's techniques can be used at virtually anytime and in any situation -- they are the most practical methods for using invisible thread ever developed.
Routines performed and taught:
Whirling Card:
Inspired by Bob Hummer's Whirling Card, a borrowed business card spins in mid air and flies around your body.
Standing Card:
Based on a routine by Gaeton Bloom, a borrowed business card is balanced on it's edge on the back of your hand.
Erectile Bill:
LeClair's version of Al Baker's popular routine where a borrowed bill is folded lengthwise and placed on a table -- it slowly begins to rise until it is standing upright.
Floating Bill:
A borrowed bill is crumpled into a ball and placed on your palm. It slowly begins to move and float while your hands wave above, below and all around it.
Ring on Wand:
A handling of Jamy Ian Swiss' Animated Ring on Wand where a borrowed finger ring magically moves along the length of a Plexiglas wand. As a repeat the entire sequence is performed while everything is in the spectator's hand.
Animated Matchbox:
Amadeo's classic Animated Matchbox where a matchbox which is laying on your palm flips over and then its drawer magically and eerily opens. What makes this version special is that the matchbox is examinable before and after the routine.
Animated Deck:
LeClair's most popular routine is a version of Al Baker's Pack That Cuts Itself, where a selected card is returned to the deck as the pack cuts itself and pushes the selection out.
Rising Card:
A selected playing card rises out of the deck.
Cigarette Follies:
A borrowed cigarette moves and jumps while on the table.
Defying Death:
A spectator writes the name of someone who has died on a piece of paper which is folded and placed into a vase along with four similarly folded papers containing names of living persons. All of a sudden one of the papers starts bouncing in the vase and finally jumps out -- on it is the name of the dead person -- his spirit made it happen!
Also taught are the most important techniques used in invisible thread magic: how to overcome thread breakage, making your own invisible thread, quick thread set-up, practice tips, vital thread handling, and much more. You are also taught the secrets of the LeClair Animator, which makes everything on this video possible.
Comes with a free starter package of invisible thread and specially compounded flesh colored putty so you can start performing immediately after learning the techniques. Even if you never tried to use invisible thread before, this program will give you the confidence and teach you everything you need to know. This is one of the most diabolical tools available to the close-up magician. A real reputation maker.

Choose an ad delivery method
Ad delivery determines how often your ads show throughout the day. After you set your campaign's budget, you have the option to choose one of two ad delivery methods:
- Standard delivery (the default option) distributes your budget throughout the day to avoid reaching your budget early on. This option is recommended if you want to reach your audience evenly throughout the day, rather than just in the morning.
- Accelerated delivery displays your ads more quickly until you run out of budget. So, if your campaign is limited by budget, your ad might stop running earlier in the day.
There are more ad delivery options in "Advanced settings." Ad rotation determines how often we deliver your active ads in relation to one another within an ad group. You can choose to optimize either for clicks or conversions, or to rotate your ads more evenly. If you're running ads on the Display Network, you can set a limit on the number of times your ad appears to a unique visitor using frequency capping.
Understanding ad delivery and your budget
For most advertisers, budget is used whenever a potential customer clicks your ad. The more often your ad shows, the faster you'll use up your daily budget. Your ad will stop showing as soon as your daily allocated budget is spent. So your choice of delivery method determines how often and over how much time your ad shows, and how long your budget lasts.
Standard delivery (default method):
- How it works: We'll try to evenly distribute your ad delivery across the entire day (12 a.m. – 11:59 p.m.).
- Who it's best for: This method is best if you want to reach customers at different times throughout the day. If you have a small budget, this method can also help you avoid spending your entire budget in the morning. For instance, if you run a gourmet food delivery business, you'd want to make sure you reach customers at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- What to expect: Since your ad delivery occurs throughout the day, you might not see your ad appear every time you look for it. (Remember, to see your ad in context, it's better to use the ad preview tool than to do a search on Google.)
Accelerated delivery:
- How it works: As soon as each day starts (12 a.m.), your ad appears more quickly until you hit your budget limit.
- Who it's best for: This method is best if it's important to you that your ads show starting in the morning and more quickly thereafter until your budget is reached, even if that means they might not show all day.
- What to expect: Remember that your ads will stop showing once you've reached your budget allocated for that day (see below for more details). So, if you reach your budget limit early in the morning, your ad won't run again until the next day.
Here's how to set your delivery method:
- Sign in to your AdWords account at https://adwords.google.com.
- Click the Campaigns tab at the top.
- Under All online campaigns, click the name of the campaign to be delivered.
- Click the Settings tab.
- In the "Bidding and budget" section, click Delivery method (advanced). Note that the availability of certain settings, like this one, may depend on the campaign type you choose. Compare campaign types in detail and learn how you can change yours.
- Next to "Delivery method," click Edit.
- Select Standard (the default) or Accelerated.
- Click Save.
Choosing an ad rotation setting for your campaign
Ad rotation is the way we deliver your ads on both the Search Network and the Display Network. If you have multiple ads within an ad group, your ads will rotate, because no more than one ad from your account can show at a time. If you'd like to specify how often you'd like the ads in your ad group to be served relative to one another, you have four options:
Optimize for clicks (default): Ads expected to provide more clicks are delivered more often into the ad auction than other ads in the ad group. These higher-quality ads gain more impressions than other ads in the ad group, resulting in higher ad-served percentages. By using this option, your ad group will likely receive more impressions and clicks overall, since higher-quality ads attain better positions and attract more user attention.How it worksThe Optimized algorithm sends ads into auctions based on principles of statistical analysis. As data is accumulated, ad serving will become weighted more heavily in favor of the ads that appear statistically likely to perform better. It's possible for ad serving to remain relatively even within this setting, if ads in an ad group have similar performance or if the ad group does not receive a substantial amount of impressions and clicks for some period of time.
- Optimize for conversions: Ads expected to provide more conversions are delivered more often into the ad auction than other ads in the ad group. This option optimizes for conversions, so it takes both clickthrough rate (CTR) and conversion rate into consideration. If there isn't enough conversion data to determine which ad will provide the most conversions, ads will rotate using "Optimize for clicks" data. Although this option may result in your ad group receiving fewer clicks than the previous option, it will likely receive more conversions, which can result in an improved return on investment.
- Rotate evenly: Delivers your ads more evenly into the ad auction. If ads in an ad group are unchanged for 90 days, the campaign will automatically begin to optimize for clicks or conversions. If the campaign is using Conversion Optimizer or Enhanced CPC, it will optimize for conversions, otherwise it will optimize for clicks.
Even though this setting is at the campaign level, the even rotation period is tracked separately for each ad group. It starts (and resets) for an ad group whenever the ads in that ad group change: specifically, when a new ad gets added, when an existing ad is changed, or when a paused/deleted ad is enabled. When the even rotation period ends and we optimize for clicks, the campaign setting will continue to say "Rotate evenly." Note that for campaigns using the CPM bidding option, ads will continue to rotate more evenly beyond the 90 days.
- Rotate indefinitely: Similar to the "Rotate evenly" setting, this option delivers your ads more evenly into the ad auction, but does so for an indefinite amount of time and does not optimize. This option is not recommended for most advertisers.
In general, rotating evenly allows ads with lower clickthrough rates and conversion rates to show more often, so this option could result in a lower average position or fewer clicks and conversions.
Also, with the "Rotate evenly" and "Rotate indefinitely" options, the percentages of ads served in the ad group will be more even than the other ad rotation options. However, they may not be exactly even because AdWords considers an ad's Quality Score when ranking on a search result page and an ad with a high quality score may appear on the first page of search results where it accrues an impression every time it's served vs an ad with a low Quality Score that appears on subsequent pages that only accrue impressions if the user clicks through to that page.
Setting the ad rotation for your campaign
Here's how to set your ad rotation:
- Sign in to your AdWords account at https://adwords.google.com.
- Click the Campaigns tab at the top.
- Under All online campaigns, click the name of the campaign to be delivered.
- Click the Settings tab.
- In the "Advanced settings" section, click Ad delivery: Ad rotation, frequency capping. Note that the availability of certain settings, like this, may depend on the campaign type you choose. Compare campaign types in detail and learn how you can change yours.
- Next to "Ad rotation," click Edit to select a method for showing your ads.
- Click Save.
Setting a frequency cap on impressions for Display Network ads
Frequency capping limits the number of times your ads appear to the same unique user on the Google Display Network. It doesn't apply to the Search Network.
If you turn on frequency capping for a campaign, you specify a limit for the number of impressions you'll allow per day, per week, or per month for an individual user. You also choose whether the cap applies to each ad, ad group, or campaign. If you're advertising on websites that see a lot of repeat visitors (like The New York Times), this helps you avoid showing your ad too much to the same folks.How to set a frequency cap
Here's how to set a frequency cap:
- Sign in to your AdWords account at https://adwords.google.com.
- Click the Campaigns tab at the top.
- Under All online campaigns, click the name of the campaign to be delivered.
- Click the Settings tab.
- In the "Advanced settings" section, click Ad delivery: Ad rotation, frequency capping. Note that the availability of certain settings, like this, may depend on the campaign type you choose. Compare campaign types in detail and learn how you can change yours.
- Click Edit next to "Frequency capping."
- Enter the number of impressions. The value must be a whole number (such as 100, not 100.5).
- Select a time interval (per day, per week, or per month) and a level (per ad group, per ad, or for this campaign).
- Click Save.
If you want more control over when your ad appears, and if you've done some research about what times and days your customers click your ads the most, you can create a custom ad schedule to select these times and days to show your ad.

NAPLES — Alex Fogg was not going to get cheated on his high school experience.
So Fogg kept adding activities during his four years, even as a senior. After participating in golf, soccer and track and field his first three years, he added cross country as a senior.
"I could see that we kind of needed another guy to get them to states," said Fogg, who will be heading to Princeton with interests in foreign affairs and chemistry. "It wasn't my favorite, but it was good training for the spring (track) season obviously because that was our goal."
Even so, Fogg improved as the cross country season went on, becoming the No. 3 runner while still competing in golf at the same time. The cross country running paid off in the spring, when he set school records in the 4x800 and 4x400 relays, and 400 and 800. The 4x800 team placed fourth at the 1A state meet.
Fogg had plenty of experience at state competitions. He found the differences among golf, cross country and track and field fascinating.
"I had the opportunity to go to states four times, which has been really exciting," he said. "One of the interesting things is to get to see the different feels of the different state meets. It's certainly a different feel — the track, and cross country, the golf. Just to get to one state meet is awesome, but to see ... the excitement, the accomplishment of everybody just getting there, is something that I really appreciated being able to do. And to be able to do it in the way we did it, with such a tight-knit group of guys, was probably one of the most rewarding things for me."
While Fogg's extensive list of extra-curriculars may seem daunting to some — or most — he wasn't doing all of it to pad his résumé. He was doing them because he really enjoyed them.
"I think I've wanted to balance it, which I think is really important," he said. "I think some people, they end up doing lots of things, and maybe some of them they don't really want to be doing. As strange, or maybe unbelievable as it might seem, I truly did enjoy everything I did, and the things I didn't enjoy doing, I didn't do.
"You only get four years of high school. I really thought you need to make the most of it, because you're not always going to have as many opportunities. ... I always tried to make sure that whatever I do, I did well, and put enough time into it to make it worth it for me and whoever I was doing it with and (was) counting on me."
The winner will be revealed at the banquet Thursday, May 24 at Waldorf Astoria Naples.

AUSTIN -- A small West Austin basement studio is a very comfortable place for Kathy Valentine. With a guitar slung around her neck and surrounded by fellow musicians, Valentine is in the process of a new adventure -- life after The Go-Go's
Most people met Valentine after a New Years Eve 1980 offer to fill-in with the up-and-coming band. But Valentine was no stranger to those in the Austin music scene.
"In Austin there was so much good music and it was a great spectrum and it wasn't snobby. Well at least for me it wasn't. I would go see blues then I would go see the rock band from Dallas playing at Mother Earth," said Valentine.
She was born in Austin and raised by the city's music. But one thing there was not a lot of in Austin at the time was female musicians.
"There were no guitar players as far as I could see. It was the Thunderbirds and Stevie Ray Vaughan," she said.
So Valentine started her own band. In the late 70's she headed to LA and as they say the rest is history.
"It was just fantastic. We were very sought after and everyone wanted to meet us and we were invited to all the best parties and movie stars wanted to meet us and we were on big TV shows," said Valentine.
They became the most successful female rock band of all time, selling millions of albums and helping define the music of a generation. And the wardrobe.
The songs Valentine wrote or co-wrote are some of the most famous. "Head Over Heels", "Can't Stop the World," and of course the tune she wrote on a plane after leaving Austin, "Vacation."
"I got to headline Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl and tour the world and I got to do all that stuff. So I have no issues with my career path," she said. "I feel extraordinarily blessed and grateful."
But it was not all glamour for the group. Constant touring, substance abuse, and bickering led to more than one split. And then on March 8th, 2013, word spread that Valentine was no longer in The Go-Go's.
This is how Valentine explained the situation to KVUE: "There's a lot of things that aren't going to be discussed about that right now. But I'm just moving on. It was [painful] but I don't wallow too much. It started with a broken wrist and just seemed to snowball into a situation where it wasn't the five of us anymore so it was painful but you know."
It has been one of those moments in life for Valentine to remind herself of who she really is -- the mother of a ten-year-old, an artist, and fighter.
"I kind of forgot about the Kathy Valentine musician from Austin and one day I was like wait a minute I was a musician long before I was a Go-Go," said Valentine.
That musician is going strong. She has been chosen as the musical director for a concert at Seattle's Experience Music Museum to kick off its "Women Who Rock" exhibit. And the Bluebonnets will be playing South Congress institution The Continental Club ever Tuesday beginning in July.
Valentine is fearless about her future.

Aeronautical Engineering involves the design, analysis, development, construction, maintenance and operation of flight vehicles. An aeronautical engineer needs a sound understanding of the mathematics, physics, computer science, materials science and design philosophy involved in this field. Aeronautical engineers apply their skills in a variety of cutting-edge areas in the global aerospace industry. They also lead the way in many other fields of science and technology, so graduates of this field are also in demand in other areas, including low-speed aerodynamics such as automobile design, navigation systems, and computer operation and software engineering.
Biomedical Engineering is a multidisciplinary branch of engineering that combines knowledge of mechanical, mechatronic, electronic, chemical and materials engineering with the life sciences of medicine, biology and molecular biology. It is one of the fastest growing branches of engineering. Biomedical engineers design and manufacture implantable and external medical devices including orthopaedic, cardiovascular and other electronic and surgical equipment. These include artificial joints and limbs, dental devices, medical electronics and implantable devices, as well as tissue engineering and computer simulation such as MRI, x-ray and CT scans.
Mechanical Engineering represents a broad branch of professional engineering, with its practitioners applying basic sciences to the development of technologies that enhance our quality of life. Mechanical engineers contribute to almost every type of engineering activity - from the application of nanotechnology to the design of systems crucial to sustainable power generation, air conditioning, transport, steel production and mining.
Mechatronic Engineering is the study of computer-controlled systems that form the basis of the 'intelligent' products that are ubiquitous in today's society. Drawing on aspects of disciplines such as mechanical, electrical and systems engineering, as well as computer science, it provides the foundation for cutting-edge technologies in fields including robotics, manufacturing, aerospace and bioengineering.
Space Engineering is an exciting new 21st Century discipline underlying the exploration and conquest of nature's most unforgiving environment.Combining key areas including orbital mechanics, space vehicles, ground station infrastructure, space avionics and space robotics, the space engineering specialisation at the University of Sydney is the only degree of its kind offered in Australia.

Bzzzt. Wrong answer. The wimpy little brake rod that's threaded into the street rod booster is something like one third as long as it needs to be, and won't actuate our Corvette master cylinder. So, we took a correct factory booster pushrod, and had our machine shop turn it down and thread it so it could be installed in this booster.

Why Buy New Grill Grates?
If you have had your barbeque for a while, you have probably noticed that the grease and fat from the meat you cook can make a mess on the different grill parts. Over time, the grates that you use to cook the meat can become encased with debris from cooking, even if you habitually clean and oil the grates. In these cases, you can get more flavor and enjoyment out of your barbecuing experience by using new cooking grates. After a while, grates often become rusty and deteriorate. Rust makes food stick more to the grates, adds bad dirt and metal flavors to your food and, in extreme cases, can be a health hazard if you accidently ingest larger shards of rust. You can avoid these annoyances by buying new grates that fit your grill and cooking habits well.
Types of Grill Grates
Stainless Steel, cast iron and porcelain are all used to make cooking grates. Grates can also leave great grill marks on meats when you let them get hot enough to sear the meat.
Measuring your Cooking Grates
Your cooking grids are measured in depth (front to back). The Depth is an important dimension because you want your grid to fit on the shelves other wise the grate will fall through. The width, measured left to right, can be off if necessary. Choose the appropraite depth range for your cooking surface.

As a consortium of dance educators from West Virginia and founding board members of the newly forming West Virginia Dance Educators Organization, we are very disheartened by the action taken by the West Virginia Board of Education on Thursday, Nov. 15. We are appalled at the unprofessional manner in which Dr. Jorea Marple was ousted and at the WVBOE's violation of the Open Meetings Act. We find the actions of the WVBOE without cause and counter to the objectives it seeks to achieve, which should be to put the education and well-being of children first. We think that the removal of Dr. Marple as state superintendent is a travesty and has darkened the educational system of our great state in a myriad of ways.
As the state's dance education organization, we credit Dr. Jorea Marple with an innovative educational philosophy and vision that includes a comprehensive, arts-rich, student-centered education for EVERY student in West Virginia. This opportunity for our students has now been compromised. Numerous letters to the editor and editorial comments have been made in the paper. However, we found it imperative to voice our thoughts as the state's dance education collective.
Dr. Marple listened actively. She listened to teachers, to children and to the coordinators of programs all across the state. She visited parts of the state that had never been visited by a state superintendent. She sat down with local educators and asked them what was working and what was not working in the W.V. education system. She wanted to hear the voices of those who were in the trenches of education every day. She believed she could make a positive difference for our children, and most were 100 percent behind her vision of an individualized education that took into consideration the specific needs of the child. Marple's vision was intrinsically student-centered and focused on educating the whole student. Self-paced education was a major component of this vision, along with testing models that are more performance-based. These components align with national initiatives and are research-based.
Marple also held the arts, world language and health and wellness as major priorities in our schools. Upon becoming superintendent, she funded an elementary dance program in West Virginia schools, which was a vital step in moving dance and dance education forward in our state. She ensured that ALL disciplines received comprehensive professional development, not just the ones addressed in standardized tests. Marple understood the power of the arts and arts integration in aiding students in their ability to deeply understand concepts in other core academic disciplines, in solving problems, in thinking critically and creatively and in being innovative, the very skills that will be needed for our children in the 21st century and beyond.
Dr. Marple cared about students. It would not be unusual to see her bent down talking eye to eye with a student discussing life and education. She had the same rapport with educators. She was professional but approachable. She was focused but accessible. She was well liked and respected among her colleagues, educators and students. Those of us who have met her, heard her speak or have worked with or for her in programs on the state level are deeply saddened by the events of this past week and the tactics used in her dismissal.
We as educators in West Virginia demand to be heard. We demand an explanation. We demand that Dr. Jorea Marple receives the respect she deserves. If this was not politically motivated, then we ask the WVBOE to openly share with the state of W.V. the specific and objective reasons for her dismissal. We also strongly request that the governor overturn the dismissal of Dr. Marple by executive order. We ask the WV BOE to apologize for the unfair, underhanded and unethical treatment and dismissal of Dr. Jorea Marple.
We, as dance educators and founding members of the newly forming WVDEO, believe the West Virginia Board of Education has done an injustice to the education of every student in West Virginia and that West Virginia education has taken a step backward with her dismissal.
Authors of this letter include: Yoav Kaddar, PhD, MFA, WVDEO President, Director, Dance Program, School of Theatre & Dance, West Virginia University; Stephanie Morris Lorenze, Ed.D., WVDEO Vice President, Clinical Assistant Professor, West Virginia University; Christa Crawford, WVDEO Communication Liaison, Dance Department Director, Dance Teacher, Jefferson High School; Brianne Solomon, WVDEO Treasurer, Visual Arts/Dance Teacher, Hannah High School; A.
